Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2140/25,1270/542
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 2140,1270
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2140,1270 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 25,542 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 25,542 is 13550 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2140,1270
2 | 2140, 1270 |
5 | 1070, 635 |
214, 127 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

1,2,4,5,10,20,107,214,428,535,1070,2140
Factors of 1270
List of positive integer factors of 1270 that divides 1270 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,127,254,635,1270
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2140,1270 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2140,1270 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,542
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/13550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2140/25,1270/542 is 10/13550
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 25,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,542) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,542) = ( 25 × 542 ) / 1
LCM(25,542) = 13550 / 1
LCM(25,542) = 13550
